Positioning for acute stroke

[clarett]

Definitely only a single sheet - if it's more than that it's unlikely to be read.

Suggestions on moving the patient would be really good too - i.e. not pulling them up with hemi arm, taking care of the arm if they're rolling them, clearly informing the patient what they're going to do/asking them to do what they can

I have found that most nurses don't have time to do more than that physically with patients

Maybe once you're done you'd be interested in posting what you came up with here?

One more suggestion would be to use a sling for affected arm before helping the patient to sit up/toilet transfers.
